The Southern Spirit - Rail Plus

The Southern Spirit.
The latest in Australia’s
Great Train Journeys.
A journey between Adelaide and Brisbane via Melbourne
is the latest addition to our great Australian train journeys
and your opportunity to explore new landscapes on
our train. Called The Southern Spirit, it was named to
encapsulate the spirit of adventure held in the hearts of
those who first opened up the furthest reaches of this
great continent.
Follow the path less travelled as The Southern Spirit
crosses four states, through hills and mountain ranges,
over lush green valleys, passing historical country
towns, wide-open plains and fertile farmlands. The
timetable makes the most of daylight hours to maximise
your enjoyment of the inspiring views and rich natural
countryside.
Join The Southern Spirit in Australia’s wine capital,
Adelaide, or the sophisticated southern city of Melbourne
for a leisurely journey to your final destination in subtropical
Brisbane. The voyage lasts up to 5 nights and 6
days in both Platinum and Gold Service comfort, with an
equally impressive return route from Brisbane, stopping
at either Melbourne or Adelaide.
The journey incorporates a series of wayside stops and
opportunities for off-train excursions that are all included
in the price. You’ll have the opportunity to visit some of
Australia’s most sought out destinations, both on and
off the beaten track. These exclusive tours enable you
to pause and savour the essence of Australia as The
Southern Spirit leads you through some of this country’s
most beautiful backdrops.
Each day begins with a fresh panorama to take in as you
wind your way through the essence of Australia. When
departing from Adelaide, the first stage offers you a
wonderfully different outlook on South Australia that you
simply shouldn’t miss. Enjoy as the inspiring beauty of
the Adelaide Hills and sweeping Murray Mallee Plains
unfolds before your eyes, then your first Whistle Stop
Tour of The Grampians.
Next, a short stop in Melbourne to allow fellow travellers
to join on this epic adventure, now heading north. The
Southern Spirit crosses the Murray River once more
before weaving its way through the Great Dividing
Range. From here, you’ll sample the sights of the pristine
east coast before reaching your final destination in the
Queensland capital of Brisbane.
